Soup is a delicious + simple zero-waste meal! Packed with loose vegetable, bulk rice, garbanzo beans, and spices...this is one of our favorite meals. This meal was filling in the best of ways at the end of a long, cold day. Use up those lingering vegetables...especially these. :) If any can be saved, it's an amazing lunch the day after!

Measurements are approximate. Use what you have. Experiment. Heat just enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pot over medium heat. Add onion + cook until translucent. Add water and all the rest to taste. Bring to boil, turn down heat + simmer until rice is cooked...stirring occasionally. Enjoy!

I am thankful that when I was growing up, my mother used to say there are more vitamins in the peels, and she never peeled her carrots or potatoes. So I don't peel them, either. It was a little eye-popping when I was visiting a friend's house to see the person who was cooking toss a PILE of peels into the trash. Your soup recipe looks good, thanks for sharing.
